Aluminium-based metal matrix composites are among one of the most widely matrix composites which are used in automobile sector, aerospace, and other engineering applications. In present study, Al-based metal matrix composite is manufactured and reinforced by silicon carbide and fly ash at various weight percentages. The aluminium matrix composite (MMC) is made with the help of stir casting method. In this paper, the mechanical properties like hardness, impact strength of Al MMC are investigated for different mass percentages of fly ash and silicon carbide. It has been observed through this study that the hardness and impact strength are increased when weight percentage of SiC and fly ash is increased. The mechanical test result of block 3 (Aluminium 95%, SiC 5%, fly ash 5%) shows increased strength and hardness. It is expected this study will be effective in the evolution of lightweight composites for aerospace industries and in shipping industries applications. |
